Hidaya Foundation was created with the focus on education, based on the belief that education is the answer to most, if not all, of our problems. Within a few early months of operation, it was realized that we must pay attention to social welfare programs as well as healthcare programs, due to the fact that a hungry child, without proper clothes, or with a disease, cannot be in a position to acquire any kind of education. Hence it became obvious that we must provide a comprehensive solution that addresses the entire well-being of a child and of a community, instead of just focus on one aspect of it.
